The cervical vertebrae massage hurt more the next day

When people feel discomfort in their cervical spine, they will massage the cervical spine to relieve the pain. There are a large number of acupoints in the cervical spine of the human body. Massaging the acupoints can effectively relieve people's fatigue and pain. But some people find that their cervical spine hurts more the next day after massaging it. This is most likely caused by incorrect massage technique. So, what should I do if my cervical spine hurts more the next day after massaging it?

Cervical massage is a treatment method that uses appropriate massage techniques to stimulate specific parts of the human body to dredge the meridians and circulate qi and blood, thereby preventing cervical spondylosis or promoting cervical rehabilitation in patients. In the conservative treatment of cervical spondylosis, cervical massage is a very important treatment method.

More and more people are suffering from cervical spondylosis. They need computers to work, play with their mobile phones and iPads on the subway and bus on their way to and from get off work, and play games online when they get home after get off work. Whether you are using a computer or a mobile phone, your head and neck are kept in a fixed position for a long time. Coupled with the lack of daily exercise, this leads to excessive fatigue of the neck and shoulder muscles, which eventually affects the cervical spine and causes cervical spondylosis.

Paralysis caused by random massage

There are two types of treatments for cervical spondylosis: surgical and non-surgical. Non-surgical treatments include oral or external medication, intravenous drip, cervical traction, acupuncture therapy, manual massage, etc. Among them, manual massage is the most popular, simple and effective.

However, the neck is the only channel connecting the brain with the limbs and torso. It contains very important tissue structures that shoulder the important task of "communicating information up and down". If it is messed up, the "up and down will lose communication", which can lead to paralysis or even death in severe cases.

Patients with cervical spondylosis in the following situations are prohibited from manual massage:

1. Cervical spondylotic myelopathy

2. There is obvious cervical segmental instability

3. Cervical spondylosis with developmental cervical spinal stenosis

4. Ankylosing spondylitis

5. Cervical tuberculosis and tumor

6. Cervical spondylosis with fractures, severe senile osteoporosis

7. Cervical spondylosis accompanied by acute infectious diseases, acute suppurative inflammation, and skin diseases

Even if cervical spondylosis is suitable for treatment with manual massage, it should be treated "when necessary". Manual massage should not be performed during the acute stage or the inflammatory exudation stage, because massage at this time will aggravate the symptoms, which in turn affects subsequent treatment. During the inflammatory exudation stage, you should first use medication to control the inflammation. Only after the acute stage is over can you start massage, otherwise the more you massage, the more painful it will be.
